Chaos Space Marines are genetically augmented transhumans who seek only to conquer, slaughter, and despoil. Clad in baroque power armour bedecked in macabre trophies and infernal iconography, Chaos Space Marines do battle alongside growling battle tanks, monstrous Daemon Engines, and thronging masses of cultist thralls. Some are possessed by daemonic allies, others bear Chaos-tainted artefacts or wield warp sorcery. No matter what form they take, they pursue their Long War with pitiless brutality, slaughtering any who stand in their path in an ever-escalating campaign of vengeance, conquest and apocalyptic violence.

Codex: Chaos Space Marines is an essential tome for building and painting a collection of Heretic Astartes, and using them in games of Warhammer 40,000. Inside this book you'll find an infernal hoard of inspirational background material and art to inspire you, along with rules for waging your own galactic war with narrative Crusade campaigns, skirmish-sized Combat Patrol games, and plenty of rules for matched play games. This grimoire is also packed with photography to evoke the horror of facing down this terrible foe, as well as more detailed examples of single miniatures.
